Exchange Exemplar: A Pulitzer For The Attica Story

heatherannthompson.com

Three Exchange guests from the last couple of years turned up on the list of Pulitzer Prize winners recently announced. 

They include Heather Ann Thompson, who won the Pulitzer for history for her book  Blood in the Water: The Attica Prison Uprising of 1971 and Its Legacy

It's a powerful story of one of the country's best-known, and as it turns out, least understood prison uprisings.  We replay our interview with Heather Ann Thompson here.
